Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I got two tickets from them despite my car being clean, and had to fight TfLs minions with a lawyer for half a year.
Half a year
So this must be under the old scheme though right I thought the difference between the new scheme and the old scheme was that the old scheme was more about congestion.
Poor people tax. My car qualifies and I still hate it. I stopped going to Bristol over it.
You know how much a 2006 petrol engine car costs?
Actually it isn't a poor person tax - if you look at a borough like Haringey, less than 50% of household own a car - they are the poor people.
I think a lot of 2015 and older diesel cars don't qualify. I know my friend's volvo doesn't. UK has a big number of diesel cars. They're efficient and reliable. Those got hit the most.
They’re efficient and reliable.
Unfortunately they don't use the Ad Blu system - so they spew out a lot of PM 2.5s, sadly. It;'s why I got myself a 2016.
They’re efficient and reliable
...and spewing out shit which causes harm to people's lungs when in dense areas like cities.
Do you not like clean air?
I have a 2015 diesel that claims to be an SUV (but I think it forgot about the S) In any case it's fine, so i'm not sure which cars it is that full foul of the scheme. As far as I can tell you practically have to be driving a tractor.
Boomers.
To be fair, its a pretty stupid thing to blow something up in public... It doesn't suprise me that this part of the fuzz got involved.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Two men have been arrested by officers investigating an explosion in which a ULEZ camera and surrounding property were damaged.
Officers from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command arrested a 60-year-old and a 61-year-old over the incident in Sidcup, southeast London.
Detective Chief Superintendent Trevor Lawry said: "The explosion could easily have had far more harmful consequences, and today's arrests highlight just how seriously the Met is treating the incident.
"My local officers are continuing to work with and support the Counter Terrorism Command who are leading the investigation due to their specialism in dealing with incidents involving the use of explosives."
After the explosion, a spokesman for the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: "This grotesquely irresponsible behaviour puts both lives and property at risk."
The move sparked fierce opposition and police have recorded more than 1,000 crimes linked to ULEZ cameras being stolen or vandalised.
The original article contains 309 words, the summary contains 147 words. Saved 52%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I bet that they will go on about their mental health issues. Thats the get out of jail free card for white terrorists.
YOUUUULEEEEEZZZZZ
YOUUUULEEEEEZZZZZ

That’s stupid. A cheap laser pointer would do almost as much damage, but carries far less risk of getting arrested as a bloody TERRORIST!
I really wish people would just stop getting over excited about something that barely affects anyone. This is just because of the Tory rabble rousing. Amazing how many riots and other problems they've directly caused this year isn't it.
